I was shocked to learn of his sudden passing, after having had such a fun lunch with him just a couple days before. The servers had to give us a heads up that they were closing in 15 mins!

Dear Betty, Diana, Tim and family,

Judy and I are very sorry and shocked by the loss of Jonathan. It is still so difficult to believe. I met him in second grade and we grew up together, played in the Abington Heights Marching and Concert Bands together, as well as the Crystal Band in Scranton. Jonathan made his mark in the world with a wonderful family, academic and professional accomplishments, and a pure zest for life. May God Bless and give you all strength and comfort...

I’m shocked to learn of Jonathan’s passing. I enjoyed many outings with him and our boys with the Boy Scouts. He was always there at our boys wrestling meets too. The beautiful Circle of Life has the sharpest corners. May his absence be filled with loving memories of him.

So very sorry for your loss. First met Jonathan when you lived on Durham Lane in Grayslake. Worked with Jonathan both at Abbott and on many FOS campaigns for Scouts. We will miss him dearly.
